I have been working at Manulife Financial full-time (more than 10 years)

Pros

Solid growth in Asia with a keen eye on ethics and compliance in the workplace. Not many perks but what company does have them nowadays? Yearly bonuses paid for past 10 years.

Cons

Bureaucracy, red tape, project management stagnates, IT is decrepid and Help Desk is not helpful. New employees are frustrated at the slow onboarding pace.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Health benefits cannot continue to be reduced. Although there is a goal to meet for shareholders, employees cannot be the ones who suffer as a result. Key decision makers need training to identify key contributors and develop ways to retain the right people. Promote from within.
